Prevents Chafing and Extends Rope Life – With High-Resistance Polyester Sleeve
A tough polyester tube creates a low-friction barrier between rope and abrasive surfaces, with a 0.05" wall thickness that resists wear. The sleeve slips over rope and sits between lines and cleats, docks or bollards.
Less abrasion means mooring lines last longer and need replacing less often, reducing maintenance needs. Boat owners see fewer frayed spots and more reliable lines at the quayside.
Quick, Tool-Free Fitting – Thanks to a Feed-Through Sleeve Design
Rope is pushed or fed through the sleeve rather than requiring knots or clamps, eliminating the need for tools during installation. The sleeve stays in place without additional fasteners when correctly seated on the rope.
Installation takes moments during routine rigging and can be achieved by one person without tools. Swapping or repositioning sleeves between lines is straightforward while at the dock.
Custom Fit for Different Setups – With Cut-to-Length Flexibility
Available lengths of 6.5 ft and 10 ft can be shortened by cutting the polyester sleeve to the exact size required for a given mooring arrangement. The 1-3/8" diameter accommodates ropes up to 1" diameter.
Ability to trim the sleeve ensures neat fits on bow lines, stern lines or spring lines, avoiding excess bulk. Suitable for a variety of vessel sizes where tailored protection is needed.
